Re: 1-3 NL
At the Wynn in Las Vegas they also spread a 1-3 NL in place of 1-2. I personally favor it because the game plays bigger but still attracts the lowest level of NL players. The Wynn also uses $3 chips. I do not mind it and think it speeds up the game, others however continuously complain and some of the dealers and players have trouble doing the rather simple math. Would be interested in knowing if you guys plan on implementing $3 chips or continuing with $1 and $5 or whatever you currently use.

Re: 1-3 NL
I have played the 1/3 at Wynn with $3 chips. I have also played it at Caesar's where there are $1, $2, and $5 chips generally in play.
I found in general that the players at Caesar's were less confused by large bet amounts. Chip counting also tended to be faster. Not scientific at all.

It will actually pick up packages from one company, a chip manufacturing company for instance, and transport the package and it's contents across the country to a completely different location, say perhaps even to a casino.

We, At Horseshoe Tunica, have stopped spreading 1-2 NL in favor of 1-3 NL. The game plays just about the same. Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] Was there any thought that it would be significantly different? I was in town this afternoon and noticed both the shoe and grand spreading this. I played the 2-5, though.

Re: 1-3 NL
1/2 is so boring that it makes me throw up just thinking about it. so yes, 1/3 is great and is a huge improvement.

The 1/2 NL game at HS usually played pretty entirely much with $5 chips with a few $1 chips in there. But most people just had stack/s of $5 chips with maybe 2 or 3 $1 chips leftover from previous pots that they can use for posting blinds. $3 chips aren't necessary at all. I saw the 1/3 tonight at HS but decided to go kick ass on the limit tables instead. Am wondering if perhaps the 1/3 structure could bring about just a tad more action? I didn't watch it enough to form an opinion if it's any different. I'm guessing a standard opening-raise will still be around $10. Live straddles of $6 might change that however. Also keep in mind that there is no cap on the buy-in for NL games in Tunica. So this might make it slightly different from 1/3 NL in other places although my observation has been that the 1/2 can still play pretty small even with no cap on the buy-in. most players who really want to sit with a big stack just play 2/5 instead (which often plays much bigger than a typical capped buy-in 2/5 NL game imo)
